7 weeks, sativa-dom strain. starting to bud very nicely. but even with my scope its hard to tell if they are cloudy... bout 30% pistils red. some trichs cloudy i guess. no amber at all, but i read somewhere that u harvesting early in sativa so u dont ruin the high with the cbns or whatever, how much longer should i wait.

isn't amber red? lol I would harvest when 1/4 of the trichomes are amber and 3/4 is milky. Flush when u notice they are all milky and get a better microscope.

Sativas typically take a long time to finish, or at least finish properly. If you're only at week seven, My guess with no photos, is that you've got at least another 5-7 weeks minimum, probably a bit longer. Hair color means nothing, keep an eye on those trichs. If you have any experience smoking good bud, you'll know when they're ready.

o ok so i need to have more posts to upload photos. ok. and ya im just gettin anxious this my 1st. i have a good scope too 60x to 100. but i still find it hard to tell whether the leaf trichs are cloudy, on the actual buds they are somewhat cloudy but not on leafs

Ledhed is right......you've got a long time to go. Your hairs haven't even withered yet- I see fresh bright white hairs there. You've got to figure 11-14 weeks before chop. You won't be happy if you cut before then.
